I showed Judy a quilt that I was making from one of her patterns. I was real tired one night and sewing beyond the point I should have stopped. Chain piecing, and not testing a block section before sewing more. When I ironed open the pinwheels, they were all wonky. So I just tubbed up the whole project and stuck it in the stash room.
Well, on Monday while I was at work, Judy took apart those pinwheels and fixed them, and then made a completed block for me. I just have to put together 11 more, and assemble the quilt. How cool is that!
It's a shame I couldn't have kept her a couple of months. Think of all the finished UFOs!
Thanks, Judy. I'm going to try to finish up this quilt top this weekend!
I've said it over and over again - she inspires me!

What a gorgeous block, and how sweet of Judy to do that for you! She's a keeper!
I'm glad you only lost one day of work - oops!
Yes indeed, system backups are a very good thing!
I would have been in a major panic too. When I do something much smaller but equally as scary, I feel a major whole body sweat breaking out! I hate that feeling. Glad it all worked out for you. I'm also glad I was able to help you out. I think I'd have to stay about 10 years to make a dent in your stash though!
Let's hear it for back ups and wonderful house guests! Love that block -- and if Judy wants to come stay at my place I have some blocks she can play with :0).
I think we need someone like her for all of our UFOs, help us figure out how to fix them.
I would have panicked too - I'm glad most of the data was recovered. That reminds me, I need to backup my files.
Thank goodness for house guests who are also pattern designers and help desk guys who save all out work. The block is gorgeous.
A little spoiling never hurt anyone. You deserved a little pampering. :-)
System backups are a very good thing! Glad it's all good.
It is beautiful - love your choice of fabrics! And back-ups - always a good investment... a very good investment! Glad to hear that your company had one in place.
Cheers!

I had a minor computer glitch yesterday, too. I turned off the surge protector strip and I was almost to the end of uploading a 5500+ line file that had been running for 6 hours! Talk about stupid mistake!! It took me almost an hour to get the file together to upload what hadn't been uploaded. Hooray for nightly updates!!!
now that is a true friend---fixing those pinwheels. Sometimes the simpler blocks can be boogers to get lined up just right!
